Merete will sum up the Stockholm conference by asking How can we transform the world with open culture?<\/strong>

Europe\u2019s cultural heritage institutions have been digitising their collections for decades. In recent years, more and more museums, libraries and archives are opening up all of this data to the people. One of the driving forces behind this move is Europeana. With the Public Domain Charter from 2010, Europeana made open data a standard for the entire sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europeana aspires to \u2018Transform the world with culture\u2019 \u2013 a bold ambition I have always wanted to contribute to. Having served in the Europeana Members Council and chaired the Europeana Network Association, I\u2019m now part of an EU Commission expert group advising the European member states about strategies for our shared, digital cultural heritage. A main task in 2019 is to co-create the new Europeana strategy 2020+. This entails understanding why<\/em><\/strong> we have digitised Europe\u2019s cultural heritage, what<\/em><\/strong> we thereby hope to achieve as a sector, who<\/em><\/strong> we aim to transform with culture, and how<\/em><\/strong> we demonstrate that aspirations turn into reality?
